Chapter 310 Who has such courage!
Liao Jiu replied, "It is my blessing that the emperor trusts me more."
"The Imperial Guards are also the Emperor's personal guards. Don't they have his trust? Last time you went to Liang Province, you nearly died outside. We were so worried about you in the capital, and now we're sending you on a long journey again... I heard that the Baihua Tower has recently resurfaced? Was it the Baihua Tower that assassinated you last time?"
Prime Minister Zhou finished speaking and asked in a low voice.
Liao Jiu just looked at him without saying a word.
Prime Minister Zhou raised his head and rolled his eyes in annoyance. "You and your uncle are keeping it a secret from me. You are directly under the Emperor, but we are not outsiders. It's not rigid. Besides, I care about you. If you, the Six Gates, need help, I still have hundreds of very useful guards..."
"No, thank you, uncle."
Prime Minister Zhou said, "You talk so little all day, and you're so frugal with your words even when we chat? What's the matter? Your uncle just spoke to you for a few words, and you're charging me per word? I saw you were also reckless in the Imperial Study just now! You dared to mention a country doctor in front of the Emperor? Do you know that mentioning him is disrespectful to the Emperor? You're blatantly slapping the Imperial Hospital in the face! And it was your uncle who helped you get back on track..."
Liao Jiu cupped his hands, this time even bowing, "Yes, uncle is right. I was rash, and it was also because I was really worried about the emperor's condition."
Prime Minister Zhou looked at him with a serious expression, without saying a single useful word.
"Forget it, forget it. Just go and do your own thing. The emperor's condition is worrying enough. Alas! The prince is still so young..." He endured the rest of the words.
To say more is an act of usurpation.
Liao Jiu pretended not to hear anything, said goodbye, and the two went their separate ways.
Suddenly, Prime Minister Zhou turned around and said, "By the way, you haven't returned home to live in the capital, nor have you married a wife, leaving your mother to live alone in such a large mansion. Now you are about to leave again, you should go back and talk to your mother. Your mother is suffering, and only you can relieve her."
Liao Jiuying said so.
But I kept thinking about the Gastrodia ginseng issue, and this trip to Aquarius...
The border area of Aquarius State is too remote, thousands of miles away from the capital. Even if you ride a horse at full speed, it will take half a month to travel there.
If you ride the wind, it will take one or two days to fly to the capital.
It is much farther away from the capital than Shamen County.
It would take more than a month to travel from Aquarius Kingdom to Shamen County by horseback, and four or five days to ride an eagle, because he had already tested the limits of the golden eagle. It could only fly at full speed for one day, and it had to rest for one day after flying. It was impossible to fly for four or five days in a row because the eagle's physical strength could not keep up.
Liao Jiu didn't want to go to such a far place. It was too far away from Jiang Lianzhu, and he always felt uneasy.
However, Xuan Huang’s illness... is also imminent.
He always felt that something was wrong, something he had overlooked.
After meditating all the way, he returned to the Six Gates.
To the left, to the right, to the east, to the west, the four commanders and the great detectives of Da'an State had heard the news and were waiting for him in the conference hall.
Liao Jiu said, "First, report what you have done separately."
Xiang You was the first to speak. "Li Niang, I've found some clues. A few days ago, the Jingzhao Yin city defense was looking for someone named Li Niang in various brothels in the capital. I went to ask, and they said someone secretly reported Li Niang as a fugitive from the Xiangwang Palace. Sure enough, they found a clue. Li Niang is indeed still alive, skilled in disguise, and has already escaped the capital..."
Liao Jiu stared intently, "Find Li Niang before them. Have you found any details about Prince Xiang's rebellion?"
As soon as Xiang You returned to the capital, he was entrusted with an important task by Liao Jiu and went secretly to investigate the rebellion in Prince Xiang's mansion.
Later, Liao Jiu tried to test the emperor's attitude, but the emperor didn't want him to investigate.
If the emperor allows him to investigate, he will investigate openly; if the emperor does not allow him to investigate, he will investigate secretly.
His intuition didn't believe that King Xiang would be the kind of person who would rebel.
Xiang You continued to report, "Prince Xiang likes to travel around and make friends with all kinds of people. His palace once had a Divine Army. Although the number was small, it was said that some of them were immortals who could fly in the clouds and mist. They were very powerful and could defeat a hundred people with one. They helped Emperor Xuan and the Great An Kingdom solve problems many times. Later, he disbanded the Divine Army because he was afraid that Emperor Xuan would be jealous. Just two years after the disbandment, Prince Xiang poisoned the eldest prince and wanted to rebel. This is obviously a problem. If he wanted to rebel, why did he disband the Divine Army? Wouldn't it be more foolproof to have such helpers directly? He was easily arrested for rebelling, and his family was ransacked and killed. All signs indicate that Prince Xiang is more likely to be framed, but no solid evidence has been found yet. I will continue to investigate."
If it is contaminated...it will make people think deeply.
Who could slander the powerful King Xiang!
Who has such courage!
Liao Jiu nodded and said, "Find more evidence, it will be useful in the future. I'm going to Aquarius this time, so you don't have to follow me. Go and do your own thing."
"yes."
Liao Jiu looked at the remaining people.
Xiangdong said, "There's been no activity at the Zhan Wang Mansion. The Zhan Wang is old and has a serious old illness, so he can't even get out of bed. Every day, the imperial physician visits him to see him. The Zhan Wang Mansion's young master is ambitious and arrogant. While the old Zhan Wang is away, the young master has already taken full command of the Zhan Army in his fiefdom and is ready to make a move. By the way, my master, their fiefdom is adjacent to the Aquarius Kingdom, which is the area where you are going to collect the Tianma ginseng this time..."
Liao Jiu twitched the corner of his mouth and hummed.
The coincidences are increasing.
Xiangxi said, "I have been monitoring the Imperial Master's Mansion. The Second Princess goes there almost every day to study, leaving early and returning late. The Imperial Master's Mansion is full of traps, and even servants cannot bribe their way in. I don't know what's going on inside."
The national teacher of Da'an State is special. He is pre-appointed, but people don't want him yet.
Da'an Kingdom wanted to win him over to serve the country, but he was unwilling. He only stayed in Da'an Kingdom for the sake of the second princess and held the idle position of national teacher.
It is said that he is the heir of a family of mechanical engineers and has the knowledge of mechanical engineering. He taught the second princess how to make powerful mechanical crossbows, mechanical horses, etc.
"This time, we, the Six Gates, are escorting the Second Princess to the Aquarius Kingdom to collect herbs. The Second Princess will need to use the art of mechanical engineering. I wonder if the Imperial Master will go with her. The Second Princess rarely goes out and is always studying the art of mechanical engineering. This time, when she goes out to collect herbs, she might surprise the Da'an Kingdom. Perhaps she has made great progress in her studies and wants to take this opportunity to show off..."
Liao Jiu connected all the people together, and they were all the well-known forces in Da'an.
In the past, they were suppressed by King Xiang. Only after King Xiang was gone did they have the momentum to stand out.
